I respectfully disagree with the Parkinson's diagnosis

For a so-called medical evaluation, about 50% of this video deals with politics. I don't know about this doctor, but I have treated scores of Parkinson Disease (PD) patients ranging in age from 30 years to over 80 years old. My patients have received various drugs to alleviate their symptoms. A few have had sterotactic surgery, an ultra=precise procedure where the target(s) must be identified within 1 mm to avoid catastrophe--yes, 1 mm. Stereotactic surgery is reserved for only the most treatment-resistant persons,

In the early phases of PD, patients often get along with levodopa agonists, which are milder than dopamine but usually effective. After about 3 to 5 years, the patient must be placed on a dopamine-carbidopa combination medication. The carbidopa is added to offset the frequent occurrence of L-dopa (levodopa) induced nausea and vomiting.

Freezing is almost never seen in early cases and almost never in mild cases. But freezing does occur. This is a motor phenomenon, as opposed to video doctor's assertion that it includes mental slowing with freezing attack. Mental slowing does occur in PD but is not part of a freeze.

About the "tremor", the analysis is very strained. He points to Hillary holding her right hand against her chest--but there is no visible tremor. PD is manifested by resting tremor, which does temporarily abate with skilled movements, such as reaching for a glass of water. In cases beyond the mild stage, the tremor is easily visible to the untrained observer. One again, there has been no video demonstration to my knowledge of gross resting tremor.

Falling can be due to many things, not only PD. Hillary has very non-PD components to her gait. She wears high heels, which would be a considerably difficult task for moderate or late stage PD. Her leg swing (length of stride) is normal for her height. Her gait has normal speed, but especially in patients with more advanced PD, the gait would be slow. Climbing stairs would be difficult with PD but impaired stair-climbing is often seen in many muscle diseases, pelvic problems, sciatica, spinal cord injury and sequelae of mTBI. The cerebellum is heavily involved in balance as is the upper brainstem. Part of the venous outflow from the cerebellum is through the dural sinuses--a thrombosis of which is known to have occurred. She also has normal arm swing when walking, something which is universally reduced even in early PD.

The "oculogyric crisis" which the doctor alludes to is incorrect. There may be repetitive neck extension movements but they always are accompanied by forced deviation of the eyes usually upward. In Hillary's bobble-headed doll episode hers eyes moved laterally and her neck flexed, rather than extended.

The facial contortion occurring at the end of Hillary's acceptance speech were compatible with right frontal lobe seizures as I previously described. True patients with L-dopa-induced dyskinesias do have facial contortions but when they occur, it be most unlikely to be an isolated event. You noticed Michael J. Fox's wide-eyed stare in one picture. That stare is an L-dopa induced dyskinesia. But this, like facial grimacing would be expected to be seen with much greater frequency than manifested by Hillary.

PD patients have decreased blink rates. Hillary's blink rate is normal

PD patients without dyskinesia have reduced facial expression (exception for dyskinetic episodes), which is called "masked facies", or reduced to absent facial expressivity. PD patients with moderate to severe disease have two interesting vocal characteristics. One, the voice is hypo phonic (involuntarily low amplitude). Hillary screams and cackles, hardly hypophonic.
The second vocal characteristic of PD is monotony, which means lack of vocal inflection (this term does not refer to vocal content).

PD patients do aspirate, mainly in moderate or advanced cases. Aspiration means food or water going down the wrong way--into the trachea, instead of the esophagus. The last thing you want to do for a person who is aspirating is give them something to drink. You would do so only if food had lodged in the supraglottic space, that is the space immediately above the epiglottis. The epiglottis is a flap of muscle which directs, when functioning properly, air into the trachea and food into the esophagus. I don't know why she coughs, but aspiration is not the reason for this.

Old nurse here - one of the videos of WJC shows him pill -rolling...at times he lacks facial expression - her inquiry into the Parkinson's drug might have been in re to him..as for her heinous, it has looked like seizure activity with the head bobbing and eye-rolling. I thought she was hallucinating at that one rally when the big guy told her to keep talking. I agree that the wearing of heels, and her seemingly normal gait do not look like Parkinson's disease. I thought aspiration but that would have been diagnosed and no she wouldn't drink water for that. So...something is "off", but what? What's with the exaggerated wide- open mouth smile? Thanks.

wrong about this whole thing, if true, is the chance we could have Tim Kaine as president. This may be their long term plan anyhow. If the players involved knew clinton couldn't fulfill her duties what better corporate stooge than Kaine to step in. I'm guessing that if she dropped out before the election he would be the stand-in. If he would have ran on his own he would have polled South of Webb and Chafee in the primaries...

Honestly, pretty much all of these attacks on Hillary's health remind me a lot of the attacks on Jill Stein. I tune them out as unworthy of my attention.
